Description: Ma'at does not have an animal head like the other gods. Instead she has one white ostrich feather on her crown. Ma'at also has wings.Nepthys had wings like Ma'at did.Ma'at had long, black hair. she always wore these headbands to keep her feather from falling out. The band was usually red or blue.She always wore a dress, nothing else.Ma'at was also a skinny woman. That is mostly what Ma'at looked like.


Role:Ma'at was the goddesses of truth and universal order.Mata's name means truth in Egypt. Ma'at was the goddess of universal order because she was a teenage goddess. She wore an ostrich feather on her crown. This specific feather is used to weigh your heart on a scale after you have died. If your heart is lighter than the feather that means you were good and you get to go to the after life,but if the heart is heavier than the feather that means you do not get to have an afterlife. It is to be said that if Ma'at was not to be existed the world would be a total chaos.


Temple: Maat's temple is a cone shape at the very top and the rest was square shape. On top of the cone was a statue of her feather. Her temple is pretty big. She has nine servants bringing her food, water, and whatever she wants. She has a huge garden of rye and wheat. Next to her temple is a six foot statue of her. It looks exactly like she looked back then. It weights about 200 pounds. The cone shape at the top of her temple is gold and the rest of the building is silver.It has many windows because Ma'at loved to look out into the night sky.this is a brief summery of what Maat's temple looks like.
